Hello from London

[sparkymarky34]

A quick 'hello' from me, Mark, here in London.

Very much a newbie to barefoot running, having picked up an injury due to heal striking and advice from the physio.

I am taking it slowly but loved it from my first foray into the world of barefoot running.

But I am still a bit self-conscious running on the streets of south-west London without footwear (I feel as though I'm streaking!), but I do kind of get a buzz from the double-take from people who see me.

Would love to get chatting to people on here and I'm sure I'll have a load of questions as my journey continues.

And if there are any other London-dwellers on the forum who fancy meeting up for a run (moral support!) through the Capital get in touch.

Thank you,
Mark

Mark:

Sadly I'm in North Carolina, but there are several Londoners in our group. Welcome to the crew. Slow and steady is the key to successful (injury-free) transition to BF running. Glad you've joined us.

Welcome, Mark.

From a fellow newb, the double-takes are opportunities to be an "ambassador" of BFR -- smile and send love. <3 Cheers.

Welcome
London is a gorgeous and very barefoot friendly city I think. I have always enjoyed running barefoot when visiting.
